NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE-1 BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Reorganization

 

Since 2022, the Company completed several transactions for the purposes of a group reorganization, as below:-

 

On February 14, 2022, Soon Aik (initial shareholder) and Celestial entered into the Acquisition Agreement, pursuant to which Celestial acquired 49 shares of SAGI (representing approximately 4.9% shareholding interest in SAGI) from Soon Aik for consideration of US$0.8 million. As a term of the acquisition, Soon Aik undertakes to transfer the entire issued share capital of Filtec and SP Zone to the SAGI. Following such transfer, Soon Aik owned 949 shares and the Celestial owned 49 shares, respectively.

 

On February 17, 2022, SP Zone entered into an instrument of transfer and bought and sold note with Soon Aik pursuant to which SP Zone transferred its entire legal and beneficial shareholding interest in Auto Saver Pte. Ltd. to Soon Aik for nominal consideration.

 

On September 29, 2022, Soon Aik and SAGI entered into a sale and purchase agreement pursuant to which Soon Aik transferred its entire shareholding interest in Spare-Parts to SAGI. The consideration is settled by SAGI allotting and issuing 1 share to Soon Aik, credited as fully paid.

 

On September 29, 2022, Soon Aik and SAGI entered into a sale and purchase agreement pursuant to which Soon Aik transferred the entire issued share capital of Filtec to SAGI in consideration of the allotment and issue of 1 share in SAGI to Soon Aik, credited as fully paid.

 

On September 29, 2022, Celestial, Soon Aik and the SAG entered into a reorganization agreement, pursuant to which Soon Aik and Celestial transferred their respective 951 and 49 shares (representing 95.1% and 4.9% shareholding interest in SAGI, respectively) to SAG. The consideration is settled by SAG issuing 8,915,624 and 459,375 Shares to Soon Aik and Celestial respectively, credited as fully paid.

 

On January 5, 2024, for purposes of recapitalization in anticipation of the initial public offering, the Company amended its memorandum of association to effect a 1:2 forward stock split and to change the authorized share capital to $100,000 divided into 200,000,000 ordinary shares, of a par value of $0.0005 each. On January 5, 2024 and January 18, 2024, Soon Aik surrendered in aggregate 9,272,250 ordinary shares to the Company. Celestial surrendered in aggregate 477,750 ordinary shares to the Company. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to Ordinary Shares, share data, per share data, and related information have been retroactively adjusted, where applicable, in this prospectus to reflect the 1:2 forward stock split of our Ordinary Shares on January 5, 2024 and the shares surrendered by our existing shareholders on January 5, 2024 and January 18, 2024 as if they had occurred at the beginning of the earlier period presented.

 

Prior to a group reorganization, SAGI was the holding company of a group of companies comprised of Filtec, SP Zone, Autozone (S) and Autozone (M). SAGI held as to 95.1% by Soon Aik and 4.9% by Celestial, the latter of which is an independent third party. Upon completion of the reorganization and forward stock split, Soon Aik owns 8,559,000 shares and Celestial owns 441,000 shares of the Company respectively, and SAGI, Filtec, SP Zone, Autozone (S) and Autozone (M) become directly/indirectly owned subsidiaries.

 

During the financial years presented in these consolidated financial statements, the control of the entities has remained under the control of Soon Aik. Accordingly, the combination has been treated as a corporate restructuring (“Reorganization”) of entities under common control and thus the current capital structure has been retroactively presented in prior periods as if such structure existed at that time and in accordance with ASC 805-50-45-5, the entities under common control are presented on a combined basis for all periods to which such entities were under common control. The consolidation of SAG and its subsidiaries has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE-2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

These accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial years presented. Significant accounting estimates in the period include the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts and other receivables, impairment loss on inventories, assumptions used in assessing right of use assets and impairment of long-lived assets, and deferred tax valuation allowance.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Non-Controlling Interest

 

The Company reports non-controlling interest in its majority owned subsidiaries in the consolidated balance sheets within the shareholders’ equity section, separately from the Company’s shareholders’ equity. Non-controlling interest represents non-controlling interest holders’ proportionate share of the equity of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries. Non-controlling interest is adjusted for non-controlling interest holders’ proportionate share of the earnings or losses and other comprehensive income.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company and subsidiaries are operating in Singapore and Malaysia, maintain their books and record in their local currency, Singapore Dollars (“SGD”) and Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), respectively, which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, Translation of Financial Statement, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

 

Translation of amounts from SGD into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

 

   June 30, 2024   June 30, 2023 
         
Year-end SGD:US$ exchange rate   1.3574    1.3495 
Annual average SGD:US$ exchange rate   1.3432    1.3374 

 

8
 

 

Translation of amounts from MYR into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

 

   June 30, 2024   June 30, 2023 
         
Year-end MYR:US$ exchange rate   0.2875    0.2890 
Annual average MYR:US$ exchange rate   0.2846    0.3011 

 

Translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated, as the case may be, at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in readily available checking and saving accounts. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and that mature within three months or less from the date of purchase. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The Company maintains most of its bank accounts in Singapore and Malaysia.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash held by foreign subsidiaries related to fixed deposits within or more than twelve months that also serve as security and guarantees under the banking facilities.

 

Accounts Receivable, net

 

Accounts receivable include trade accounts due from customers in the sale of products.

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms. The normal settlement terms of accounts receivable from insurance companies in the provision of brokerage agency services are within 30 days upon the execution of the insurance policies. The Company seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables to minimize credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate and provides allowance when necessary. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual customer exposures, as well as the historical trends of collections. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the likelihood of collection is not probable. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary.

 

The Company does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements overs its accounts receivable balances.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the average cost method. The Company records adjustments to its inventory for estimated obsolescence or diminution in net realizable value equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated net realizable value. At the point of loss recognition, a new cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.

 

9
 

 

Property and Equipment, net

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

 

    Expected useful life
Leasehold building   3 years
Leasehold improvement   3-5 years
Tools and equipment   3 years
Furniture, fixtures and fittings   8 years
Office equipment   5-7 years
Computer equipment   3 years
Motor vehicles   5 years

 

Expenditure for repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. When assets have retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, all long-lived assets such as property and equipment owned and held by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company receives certain portion of its non-interest income from contracts with customers, which are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”).

 

ASC 606-10 provided the following overview of how revenue is recognized from the Company’s contracts with customers: The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

 

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

 

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

 

Step 3: Determine the transaction price – The transaction price is the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer.

 

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract – Any entity typically allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service promised in the contract.

 

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation – An entity recognizes revenue when (or as) it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer (which is when the customer obtains control of that good or service). The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time (typically for promises to transfer goods to a customer) or over time (typically for promises to transfer service to a customer).

 

10
 

 

The majority of the Company’s income is derived from contracts with customers in the sale of products, and as such, the revenue recognized depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considers the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying this guidance. The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 606, as follows:

 

Product sales consist of a single performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time. The Company recognizes product revenue when the following events have occurred: (a) the Company has transferred physical possession of the products, depending upon the method of distribution and shipping terms set forth in the customer contract, (b) the Company has a present right to payment, (c) the customer has legal title to the products, and (d) the customer bears significant risks and rewards of ownership of the products. Based on the Company’s historical practices and shipping terms specified in the sales agreements and invoices, these criteria are generally met when the products are:

 

  Invoices; and
  Shipped from the Company’s facilities or warehouse (“Ex-works”, which is the Company’s standard shipping term).

 

For these sales, the Company determines that the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the products at the time the products are shipped.

 

The Company records its revenues on product sales, net of good & service taxes (“GST”) upon the services are rendered and the title and risk of loss of products are fully transferred to the customers. The Company is subject to GST which is levied on the majority of the products at the rate of 9% on the invoiced value of sales in Singapore.

 

Amounts received as prepayment on future products are recorded as customer deposit and recognized as income when the product is shipped.

 

The Company generally allows a 7-days’ right of return to its customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the sales returns allowance was approximately $2,957 and approximately $2,267, respectively.

 

Certain larger customers pay in advance for future shipments. These advance payments totaled approximately $4.1 million and approximately $3.9 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are recorded as customer deposits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenue related to these advance payments is recognized upon shipment to the distributor or the end-customer.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

No shipping and handling costs are associated with the distribution of the products to the customers which are borne by the Company’s suppliers or distributors during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing expenses include payroll, employee benefits and other headcount-related expenses associated with sales and marketing personnel, and the costs of advertising, promotions, seminars, and other programs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $4,534 and approximately $5,008 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Government Grant

 

A government grant or subsidy is not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that: (a) the enterprise will comply with the conditions attached to the grant; and (b) the grant will be received. When the Company receives government grant or subsidies but the conditions attached to the grants have not been fulfilled, such government subsidies are deferred and recorded under other payables and accrued expenses, and other long-term liability. The classification of short-term or long-term liabilities is dependent on the management’s expectation of when the conditions attached to the grant can be fulfilled.

 

11
 

 

Comprehensive Income

 

ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statement of shareholder’s equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company is subject to tax in local and foreign jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities.

 

Leases

 

Effective from January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transactions. ASC 842 requires that lessees recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities calculated based on the present value of lease payments for all lease agreements with terms that are greater than twelve months. It requires for leases longer than one year, a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial condition a right-of-use asset, representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability, representing the liability to make lease payments. ASC 842 distinguishes leases as either a finance lease or an operating lease that affects how the leases are measured and presented in the statement of operations and statement of cash flows. ASC 842 supersedes nearly all existing lease accounting guidance under GAAP issued by the FASB including ASC Topic 840, Leases.

 

The accounting update also requires that for finance leases, a lessee recognize interest expense on the lease liability, separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statements of earnings, while for operating leases, such amounts should be recognized as a combined expense. In addition, this accounting update requires expanded disclosures about the nature and terms of lease agreements.

Retirement Plan Costs

 

Contributions to retirement plans (which are defined contribution plans) are charged to general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operation as the related employee service are provided. The Company is required to make contribution to their employees under a government-mandated multi-employer defined contribution pension scheme for its eligible full-times employees in Singapore and Malaysia. The Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the participants’ relevant income based on their ages and wages level. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, approximately $0.2 million and approximately $0.2 million contributions were made respectively.

 

Segment Reporting

 

FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for details on the Company’s business segments. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has two reporting business segments.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows the ASC 850-10, Related Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include: (a) affiliates of the Company; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825-10-15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company follows the ASC 450-20, Commitments to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

13
 

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with high credit quality institutions, the composition and maturities of which are regularly monitored by management. From April 1, 2024 onwards, the Singapore Deposit Protection Board pays compensation up to a limit of S$100,000 (approximately $74,360) if the bank with which an individual/a company hold its eligible deposit fails. As of December 31, 2023, cash balance of approximately $0.7 million and restricted cash of approximately $0.3 million were maintained at financial institutions in Singapore and Malaysia, of which approximately $1.0 million was subject to credit risk. While management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthiness.

 

For accounts receivable, the Company determines, on a continuing basis, the allowance for doubtful accounts are based on the estimated realizable value. The Company identifies credit risk on a customer-by-customer basis. The information is monitored regularly by management. Concentration of credit risk arises when a group of customers having similar characteristics such that their ability to meet their obligations is expected to be affected similarly by changes in economic conditions.

 

Exchange Rate Risk

 

The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in MYR and SGD and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in MYR and SGD. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and MYR and SGD. If MYR and SGD depreciates against US$, the value of MYR and SGD revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. A key risk in managing liquidity is the degree of uncertainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;
     
  Level 2 : Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs; and
     
  Level 3 : Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.

 

14
 

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, loans receivable, amount due to a related party, accounts payable, escrow liabilities, income tax payable, amount due to a related party, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of note payable approximate the carrying amount. The Company accounts for loans receivable at cost, subject to impairment testing. The Company obtains a third-party valuation based upon loan level data including note rate, type and term of the underlying loans.

 

The Company’s non-marketable equity securities are investments in privately held companies, which are without readily determinable market values and are classified as Level 3, due to the absence of quoted market prices, the inherent lack of liquidity and the fact that inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable and require management’s judgment.

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities on an annual basis to disclose (1) specific categories in the tax rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, though retrospective application is permitted.

 

In July 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and certain other segment items on an interim and annual basis if they are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption.

Right-of-use assets under operating leasing arrangements classified under leasehold buildings as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 amounted to approximately $0.5 million and approximately $0.6 million, respectively.

 

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, on January 1, 2019, the beginning of the fiscal 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an identified fixed asset explicitly or implicitly for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed if we obtain the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the underlying asset. Some of our leases include both lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component as the Company has elected the practical expedient. Some of the operating lease agreements include variable lease costs, primarily taxes, insurance, common area maintenance or increases in rental costs related to inflation. Substantially all of our equipment leases and some of our real estate leases have terms of less than one year and, as such, are accounted for as short-term leases as we have elected the practical expedient.

 

20
 

 

Operating leases are included in the right-of-use lease assets, other current liabilities and long-term lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at each lease’s commencement date based on the present values of its lease payments over its respective lease term. When a borrowing rate is not explicitly available for a lease, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on information available at the lease’s commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payments. Operating lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company adopts 5.0% as weighted average incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The weighted average remaining life of the lease was 3 years.

 

The table below presents the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet.

NOTE-14 CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK

 

The Company is exposed to the following concentrations of risk:

 

(a) Major customers

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there is no single customer who accounted for 10.0% or more of the Company’s revenues.

 

(a) Major vendors

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the vendor who accounted for 10.0% or more of the Company’s purchases and its outstanding payable balances as at year end date, is presented as follows:

 

   Percentage of purchases   Accounts payable   Percentage of purchases   Accounts payable 
   2024   2023 
   %   $’000   %   $’000 
                 
Vendor A   22.3    476    14.5    609 

 

(b) Credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and loans receivable. Cash equivalents are maintained with high credit quality institutions, the composition and maturities of which are regularly monitored by management. From April 1, 2024 onwards, the Singapore Deposit Protection Board pays compensation up to a limit of SGD100,000 (approximately $74,360) if the bank with which an individual/a company hold its eligible deposit fails. As of June 30, 2024, cash balance of approximately $1.1 million and restricted cash of approximately $1.1 million were maintained at financial institutions in Singapore and Malaysia, of which approximately $1.0 million was subject to credit risk. While management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthiness.

 

For accounts receivable, the Company determines, on a continuing basis, the probable losses and sets up an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the estimated realizable value.

 

The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its counterparties’ financial condition and generally do not require a collateral. The Company also considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period.

 

The Company has determined the default event on a financial asset to be when internal and/or external information indicates that the financial asset is unlikely to be received, which could include default of contractual payments due for more than 90 days, default of interest due for more than 365 days or there is significant difficulty of the counterparty.

 

To minimize credit risk, the Company has developed and maintained its credit risk grading to categorize exposures according to their degree of risk of default. The credit rating information is supplied by publicly available financial information and the Company’s own trading records to rate its major customers and other debtors. The Company considers available reasonable and supportive forward-looking information which includes the following indicators:

 

Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the debtor’s ability to meet its obligations
Internal credit rating
External credit rating and when necessary

 

26
 

 

Regardless of the analysis above, a significant increase in credit risk is presumed if a debtor is more than 30 days past due in making contractual payment.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was a single customer whose account receivable balances is amounted to approximately 19.8% and 22.1% of total consolidated amounts, respectively.

 

(c) Interest rate risk

 

As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Company’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

 

The Company’s interest-rate risk arises from bank borrowings. The Company manages interest rate risk by varying the issuance and maturity dates of variable rate debt, limiting the amount of variable rate debt, and continually monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the bank borrowings were at fixed interest rates.

 

(d) Economic and political risk

 

The Company’s major operations are conducted in Singapore and Malaysia. Accordingly, the political, economic, and legal environments in Singapore and Malaysia, as well as the general state of Singapore and Malaysia’s economy may influence the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

(e) Exchange rate risk

 

The Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady; therefore there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable periods and because of the fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of SGD and MYR converted to US$ on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in political and economic environments without notice.

 

(f) Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. A key risk in managing liquidity is the degree of uncertainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.

 

There is still significant uncertainty over the future development of the outbreak as to the duration of the pandemic and the global situation remains very fluid at the date of these financial statements approved. Management is closely monitoring the Company’s businesses activities and has taken certain measures to ensure the Company has sufficient working capital to continue providing services to the ultimate holding company and to settle all its obligations.

 

Potential impact to the Company’s results of operations for 2024 will also depend on economic impact due to the pandemic and if any future resurgence of the virus globally, which are beyond the Company’s control. There is no guarantee that the Company’s revenues will grow or remain at a similar level year over year in 2025.

 

NOTE-15 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. The Company currently is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has no material commitments or contingencies.

 

NOTE-16 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, the Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2024, up through the date the Company issued the audited consolidated financial statements. During the period, the Company did not have any material subsequent events other than disclosed above.

 

On October 22, 2024, the Company had completed its initial public offering of 875,000 Ordinary Shares at a public offering price of US$8.00 per share (the “Offering”). Total net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting discounts, expenses allowance and expenses, were approximately $4.9 million. The Ordinary Shares began trading on October 23, 2024 on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “SAG.”
